About the Levels of Details Mechanism

A level of details mechanism is activated for scenes or stores that contain at least 50 gondola sections and furniture. It allows you to increase the display performance of scenes or stores in the First Person Shopper. 3D models of objects that are relatively far from the user's position on screen are simplified.

In the case of gondolas, the levels of details are automatically generated for each gondola section when you click Prepare in Store Studio. For more information, see Preparing a Visit into the First Person Shopper.

In the case of furniture such as products on a pallet, for example, the levels of details correspond to the files available in Document Files in the ENOVIA app. They are generated by Pack Manager or are imported as MPPACK files in the database.

There are three levels of details for gondolas and furniture:
